AN OLD LANDMARK.

One after another the old landmarks
that were familiar to the early settlers
OF Honolulu are disappearing, to give
place to more modern structures, and
every year witnesses changes in the APP
pearance of our streets that would make
it difficult for one OF the first corners to
the place who had been absent say for
quarter OF a century, to recognize the
locality if he should return and be set
down in the business part of the city,
not to speak of the waste places that
have become thickly settled, and among
the most beautiful districts we have.
During the past week the old building
at the corner OF Fort and Merchant
streets SO long occupied by Mr.. NJ. Nc
Inerny has been RACED to give place TO
a structure which, when completed, will
be one OF the handsomest in town. The
ground floor will be occupied by Mr.
McInerny to carry on his extensive bust
ness, and on the first floor there will he
hall sixty by forty feet. Work will be
commenced at once.

CinderslIa,s Real Name.


There is no fairy tale that is better
known or more loved by young readers
than the story of the little cinder wench,
who was so i'll treated by her cruel sis
tiers, had such a delightful godmother,
with a magic wand and was so lucky as
to lose her pretty glass slipper only to
gain a prince and become a princess
thereby.
Looking over an old book we came
upon an anecdote that is said to have
been the origin of this favOrite little tale.
Cinderellas real name, it seems, was
RhodOpe, and she was a beautiful
Egyptian maiden, who lived go years
before the birth of Christ, and during the
reign of Psammeticus. one of the twelve
kings of Egypt. One day RhodOpe vent
ured to go in bathing in a clear stream
near her home and meanwhile left her
shoes, which must have been unusually
small, living on the bank. An eagle,
passing above, CHANGED TO catch sight of
the little sandals, and, mistaking them
for a tOothsome tidbit, bounced down and
carried off one in his beak.
The bird then unwittingly played the
part of the fairy godmother, for, flying
directly over Memphis, where King
Psammeticus was dispensing justice, it
let the shoe fall right into the kings lap.
Its size, beauty and daintiness immedi-
ately attracted the royal eye, and the
king, determined on knowing the wearer
of 50 cunning a shoe, sent throughout all
his kingdom in search of the foot that
would fit it. As in the story of Gin
derella, the messenger finally discovered
Rhodope, fitted on the shoe. and carried
her in triumph to Memphis, where she
became the queen of King Psammeticus
and the foundation of the fairy tale that
was 70 delight boys and girls 2,400 years
later-AmeriCan Agricuiturist

Vibrations Of earthquakes.

In a rough sketch Of the present
knowledge OF earthquakes. Professor G.
H. Darwin says that the vibration of
severe shocks, even, are very short, One
of a quarter of an inch is sufficient 70

indicate that the initial point of disturb
ance is. as rule, near the surface of the
earth. ranging from one and half TO
seven miles below. In rare instances this
has been excelled. Frank Leshe's.

ISLAND NOTES.

HONOKAA, Hawaii, July 2Ist.
The long looked for and much needed
rain has come at last On Monday and
Tuesday nights we had a good rain,
something over an inch. This has given
Us supply of water, but much more is
needed yet for the cane fields Planting
has again started in vigorously.
The Rev. c. K. Nugent, who has been
a resident of this district for the last
year, and was supported by public sub
scriptiOns, left here last week without
the formality of lea re taking, not even
saying goodbye, rather an abrupt wav
for Minister to sever himself from his
flock.
The examination of the children at
the Honokaa English Government
School took place on Wednesday, the
Goth. There was quite an elaborate
programme prepared, consisting in part
as follows: Recitation, spelling, gram
mar, arithmetic, geography, drawing,
etc, in all of which the pupils displayed
considerable ability and showed the
careful attention paid to the several
branches during the past years tuition.
When the present Principal, Mrs. K. NJ.
Overend, and her assistant, Mrs. Cook,
took charge of the school very few of the
children could speak two words of Eng
lish. To-day they can read and recite
with clearness and distinction. Among
those deserving of special notice is a
native boy, Keau, who obtained the first
prize-a silver watch-for the knowledge
of the different branches, including
drawing. Two Portuguese boys got the
second and third prizes. In the
girls class Miss Hetta Costa got
first prize, gold bangles and book,
for general neatness and good attend
ance. Maria, a Portuguese girl, also got
two prizes. Several ladies attended and
took part in the ceremony. Altogether
the examination was very encouraging
for the teachers and parents, and it is
sincerely hoped that both teachers and
children will enjoy their well-merited
vacation.

HILO, Hawaii, July 21, 1897.
Mr.. T. j. Vivian, special correspond
ent of the New York "Herald, d" and the
artist Jules Tavernier, arrived at Hilo,
July goth, from Kilauea. The artist has
made some new sketches, which he will
no doubt put on canvas, and given the
correspondent valuable information,
which he is so capable of doing, OF the
great crater, which is quite active.
1t seems pleasant to see the genial
face OF the tax assessor around again,
Mir. J. Nawahi, who has ever filed the
position so acceptably to taxpayers OF
Hilo district.

We hope to do for science what has
been attempted but never accomplished.
Here we will have almost the entire
flora of the earth, correctly labelled,
not weak greenhouse plants. but the
most magnificent specimens, thriving in
their native element. For agriculture
and horticulture, pomology, floral cul-
tnre, we will grow every grain, vege-
table, fruit aud flower. that will thrive;
saving an imlnese amount OF time labor,
and disappointment; which always &C,
companies experimenting, testing, etc.,
by private parties. In connection with
the garden we hope in time to estab'
lish o museum for the preservation of
specimens, for botanical and horticul-
tural library, and to contain scientific
rooms in which insects, diseases and
structures can be examined and experi-
mented on. There will no longer be an
excuse for barren pleasure grounds, and
untitled fields, for by visiting this famous
garden. you can see all that there is to
see, and can realize the grand possibili-
lies ny which you are surrounded.
This enterprise has come to stay and
must be managed with wisdom, that
the results at which we aim may lie at
tanned, public meeting called, board
of trustees appointed, and 1--WE will be
fairly under way), these will wisely ap'
point committees on public sentiment,
endowment, etc., and will consider the
wisest method of placing the facts be-
fore the people OF large, state, county,
city, r. r. corporations. etc., and the
general government, which is never
backward, in helping practical enter.
prise which is for the good of the people.
From the General Government we ex.
pect libaral endowment, and free &C.
cess to the consular agents in all parts
OF the world, who will collect seeds and
plants. which will be transported free OF
charge. We expect this, for the gar
dens are to be national in character
and free to the world.
As soon as the committee get their
work in shape, the most suitable ground
will be selected (already number of
generous, public spirited gentlemen,
have offered land and water), cultivated,
graded, fenced, laid out, several small
structures erected for starting seeds,

Before the sun again goes down on
this fair land of ours, many thousands
will have read of this effort to ele.

great and grand results can only be OBJ.
tained, by patient work, self.saeritice and

Gated Job and required over 2OO,0O
bricks, the chimaeys being all built in
the most modern style, with Hue pan
elled and orpamented chimney tops. 1t
required $4,000 bricks to build these
chimneys. All has been done IN the
most perfect manner. The plasterlng oi
"a, 900 yards is most excellent piece OF
good Workmanship; the surface is smooth
and of uniform color, free from cracks
or defects. 1t has been decorated with
various ornamental brackets and centers
in an almost perfect manner, ana Will
give great credit to the contractor and
Also to the architects. Frank G. Young
has furnished and set all the necessary
fancy tile works, wooden mantels, CRATES
and fire. places. All these works have
been carried out in q most satisfactory
way. All work is plumb and level
and shows completeness in all
details. The owner, Mr.. Scott,
is very highly pleased with the
carving out Of his contract,
and recommends Frank G. Young
highly 10 all who intend building as
safe and straightforward man. MIR.
Young is now doing contract work ON
the largest blocks now in course OF erec'
ton, the new United States Hotel, the
Gallagher block, Lankershim and Breed
blocks.
THE CARPENTER WORK - MIR. JOHN
HANLON.
The Hotel Arcadia is one of the best
structures on the coast. It Is unfortun.
ately fact that modern building, espe.
cially when done by contract, is often
anything but substantial. There is too
little attention paid to details. The
work is done in hasty manner and the
result is that, while the exterior, when
new, may deceive the eye, in q few
years the poor work in painfully appar.
ent. Practical men who have carefully
examined the carpenter and other con-
tract work of the Hotel Arcadia speak
in the highest terms of praise of the
manner in which it has been done. Even
an inexperienced man can tell by
glance that first.class job has been &C.
complished. All agree that from roof
to basement, the work has been done in
the most skilful and thorough manner,
and the young seaside city may well be
proud OF the Hotel Arcadia.
The credit for this splendid job, so
far as the carpenter and contract work
is concerned, belongs entirely to Mr..
John Hanlon, of Los Angeles. This
gentleman, in bis special line, is un.
doubtedly one of the most experienced
and practical men On the coast. His
services are constantly in demand, and
he has had hand in great number of
the principal residences and business
blocks of this city and suburbs. He is
at present engaged on the handsome
new college of st. Vincent'a, which will
be one of the finest educational institu-
tions in the southern portion

in commercial matters. With o few more
such wholesale aud retail establishments
as the Los Angeles Furniture Company
our city will rank with the first In COM
mercial importance.

PER, REYNOLDS & co.
The Harper Il Reynolds Hardware
Company. 4S and SO North Main street,

ished all the hardware used and did the
plumbing of the Hotel Arcadia. This
included twenty.eight closets, fifteen
SHADES, one and half miles Of pipe,
thirteen tubs, several tubs OF lead and
a large number OF miscellaneous items.
An idea may be formed of the amount
of work done when it is stated that it
would have taken one skilled workman
over a year TO perform it. Mention has

pany. They have the largest establish
ment south of San Francisco. and hayc
an immense trade all over the southern
country. In the line of sanitary plumb,
ing they have secured an unequalled
reputation. An inspection OF their work
at the Hotel Arcadia is we'll worth while
by those who contemplate building.
THE MAcHINERY--BAKER IRON WORKS.
The Baker Iron Works of Los Angeles
furnished and erected the forty.horse
power steel boiler which supplies steam
for the steam pumps and steam heating

draulic Passenger Elevator, which is
one of the noted Otis Brss. Patent Safe.

recently been placed in rhis portion Of
the State. These elevators have proven
the most satisfactory machine yet de.

quired in the modern high buildings in
